I can confirm this bug for nvidia-graphics-driver-173.
I was using separate X screen on my nvidia Geforce FX 5950 with my CRT (1280x1024) and TV (1024x768) since ubuntu 8.04. I set this up with nvidia-settings. 

Since I updated to Jaunty I encounter exactly the same problems as Fred does.
Restarting compiz leads to the the second x-screen showing up but without any function (you see the desktop and panels but there is no interaction possible, only the mousepointer can be moved)

This was all working fine in 8.04 and 8.10. Don't know which driver-versions I used at that time (but a nvidia-driver for sure).
The only application visible on the second X screen is elisa by starting it with "DISPLAY=":0.1" elisa". (maybe because it's fullscreen?)

I really hope this gets fixed.
